Cats are going to do whatever they want to do, and if you think you have any say in the matter, you're just as silly as they think you are. Cats are known for purrforming some of the Earth's most incredible feats: they can steal your food without you even noticing, they can fall asleep literally anyplace and any time (this is also a very dad trait), and they are also known for raising babies of other species simply because they can. They don't give a second thought about anyone's rules, including animals that most people are typically afraid of. 

That leads us to today's story, where a cat "allegedly" snuck into the bears' enclosure in the Saigon Zoo & Botanical Gardens in Ho Chi Minh City. Now, if we were going to sneak into an animal enclosure in a zoo, we certainly wouldn't choose the bears', but then again, we don't have the purrfect confidence of a cat. They named her Mika, and not only did she sneak in, she also decided she lived there, got pregnant, and had three cute kittens, all right next to some bears. Only a cat could do that!

  • Look at Mika, she's purrfectly cool, calm, and collected. She's probably got those bears whipped into shape and bringing her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If Mika runs those bears anything like our cats run our house, she has them eating out of the center of her paw.

    Nekro_Goblin • 10h ago My mom used to volunteer at a wildlife conservancy and they had a ton of bears there. The other thing they had a ton of was stray cats that hung out with the bears. Apparently housecats and bears are super chill with eachother

  • She's probably like “Did we say you could look in our general direction? Yeah, that's what we thought. You will speak when spoken to, and only then! Now go and catch a fish in the river, I'm hungry, and my kittens are hungry too.”

    Inevitable_Price7841 13h ago "Somehow" Obviously, there was another cat involved. I dont think it's fair to put accusations of impropriety against the bears. Especially after they've been such generous hosts.

    MapsPKMNGirlsAnime • 13h ago . This is either very impressive because of those are Asian Black Bears they are what people think American Black Bears behave like, but the American ones instead act like big racoons.

    But if this is a Sloth Bear (Baloo from the Jungle Book) it's less impressive since they tend to eat bugs and fruit they aren't big time hunters

    Fine_Sea5807 OP • 11h ago Btw, our zoo names every animal they have there. There is one racoon named "Container", for she was found inside a shipping container that transported food from the US to Vietnam.
